Fantastic job! I eagerly await the next in the series.

Whhhhaaat? I didn't know letter writing is still a thing. Too bad the chicken scratch made by my tiny otter paws makes doctor writing look like master calligraphy. If it weren't for typing I wouldn't be a writer...

@kevinhearne Yw. And thank you!
I didn't fully understand your comment about outlining until I listened to this story. Now all I need to do is get a copy to read... and another to give to a friend!
@kevinhearne Doesn't that ride involve a chariot made of consonants pulled by giant vowels tethered to strings of punctuation?
@kevinhearne After comments like that I look around expecting someone to reflect on how computers used to take up entire rooms... and then I hope that it will someday make sense to say, "You should have gotten the quantum package on your flying Tesla."
@matt Maybe...
Ever hear of a "Merlin Experience?"
It follows from a series of concepts:
- We don't exist in linear time; that's a mental construct.
- All experiences exist in every present moment, or "Now Time"
- To 'relive' past (or future) experiences, step outside of mental linear time and allow awareness of the desired moment.
From that perspective, our day to day lives are limited sequential Merlin Experiences, and our minds are trapped in them.

Saw a sign at a shop today: "Mind your own biscuits and life will be Gravy." I immediately thought of Oberon.
Also, I'm about halfway through a Plague of Giants... it's by far my favorite of your books. A Masterpiece up there with "The Name of the Wind."

Do you ever feel that the weight of the words that wait for the page might crush you?
Sometimes I think my mind's on the verge of implosion - can't get the words out fast enough.
Compassion starts with yourself, and usually starts with dropping the sufferer and victim personas.
Once you've accomplished that, you're an asset to yourself and everyone around you just by the example you set. Thus, compassion is both an act of selfishness AND selflessness. A "push/pull" system (like alternating current).
Many systems, IMO, demand suffering by pushing or pulling; there's no balanced give and take and so need redesign and/or replacement.
@kevinhearne Ah, the picture makes more sense now. Good luck, not that you need it; I've read your work and have no doubt that the result will amaze and entertain!
